Mental characteristics

Personal history

Ortasmos was a hero of great renown in his mortal life and was one of the mighty heroes that caused the Withering. After the diminishing of the calissae, he spent the rest of his mortal life partaking in as many pleasures as he could, becoming increasingly famous for his efforts.   After being offered ascension to godhood, Ortasmos sent godkin messengers to Aedelor to spread the word of what he called the Five Pleasures: drugs, food, music, serenity, and sexuality. Ortasmos and his adherents believe that a fulfilling life consists of balancing the Five Pleasures responsibly, and he acts as a muse to many who seek to do so.

Social

Family Ties

Rumours abound that Ortasmos has hundreds if not thousands of children. In reality, he has five. Each have inherited one of the five pleasures, but taken to an extreme without the balance Ortasmos practices within himself.
